Luminous Egress in Utah
With the adoption on the 2018 International Building Code [see IFC 1104.25, 1025] as part of the Building Code 2018 of Utah, the installation of luminous egress path markings became required for all new and existing high-rise commercial building across the State. Effective as of July 2019, all new and existing high-rise commercial buildings must install luminous egress path marking products in all exit stairwells and landings.

Luminous Egress Path Marking Code Compliance in Utah
Section 1025 provisions provide an additional level of safety to buildings’ egress paths by requiring the installation of photoluminescent or self-illuminating marking systems that do not require electrical power and the associated wiring and circuits. This means that even if a building’s power supply fails to operate, photoluminescent egress markings ensures occupants can safely egress a building via exit stairways. This is especially necessary in high-rise buildings, which feature a greater anticipated occupant load and occupants which way not be familiar with the emergency exit path.
